Sherman Oaks Elementary

Summary:

Sherman Oaks Elementary is a public charter school serving 478 students in grades K-8 in San Jose, California, which is part of the Campbell Union School District.

While Sherman Oaks Elementary outperforms some nearby schools in the district, such as Rosemary, Lynhaven, and Blackford Elementary, on test scores and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate, it struggles to keep up with higher-performing schools in the area, like Willow Glen, Booksin, and River Glen Elementary, which have much higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

Sherman Oaks Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.7% in 2018-2019 to 18.4% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the Campbell Union district average of 13.3% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's enrollment has decreased from 552 students in 2022-2023 to 478 students in 2023-2024, a significant drop that may impact the school's resources and funding.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
